Who We Are

CapNorth is a capital markets resource for commercial real estate investors, providing debt and equity solutions to our partners. We provide sophisticated financing solutions by leveraging our expansive capital network through our proprietary capital database “CapDrive”. Our team of Debt and Equity professionals came from an institutional background with a goal to provide institutional level experience to the private sector. At CapNorth, we take an advisory approach with our partners, working as a team on all phases of a project to deliver a financing solution that will help them achieve their goals.

Experience

CapNorth’s team has been involved in $5.5B of transactional volume, with experience across all levels of the capital stack. Last year we placed $408M across the following loan/lender types:

 

Equity/Loan Guaranty Program

At CapNorth we have the unique capability to provide loan guarantees for a fee. This feature allows our partners to utilize a balance sheet that will allow them to get the most aggressive pricing in the market, especially for construction projects that require significant net worth and liquidity covenants.

In-house Capital

CapNorth has a discretionary fund called CapNorth Credit Fund, LP (“CCF”) for providing senior, mezzanine debt and preferred equity for projects where larger institutions don’t typically show up. Check sizes range from $250,000 to $5,000,000. This is especially unique for borrowers that are working on smaller construction projects, but their local lender isn’t able to achieve the desired leverage. CCF can help fill that gap.
